fix(gitflow): pre-commit gitleaks scan falls back to protect --staged on < 8.19

Ubuntu's gitleaks 8.16 package has no git subcommand, so the hook's
"unknown command" exit 1 blocked every commit as a leak. Probe
gitleaks git --help once, fall back to protect --staged; regenerate the
installed hooks. T16c simulates a missing binary with a /usr/bin symlink
farm minus gitleaks instead of a shorter PATH.
